Today on Running The Table, we discuss some aspects of World Building in Dungeons and Dragons. Specifically, a brief overview and then a detailed discussion of Pantheons, Gods, and Religions! How do you incorporate a religious aspect into a world where gods walk the land? What are some other types of religions to incorporate?

What does it mean to be a Dungeon Master for Dungeons and Dragons? In this episode, the first of our new format, I discuss a bit about the roles expected of a DM in D&D, what they each mean, and a little bit of the support provided to you by the game itself. Of course no "what" is complete without the "why" as well, so I also cover the reason the DM must take on so many hats.

Welcome back to Running The Table! On this episode of your favourite TTRPG Advice Podcast we read through two stories that hinge on downtime activities. Either downtime changed the story, or made an entirely new one in unpredicted ways. Downtime can do a lot for character development, and can push narratives in new directions - there's a lot you can do, so we're not done talking about it in the least!
